Will most likely have anywhere from 4-10 miles on it when you finally receive it. But, still brand new!

Congrats on your new ride!

Thanks! I doubt it will have that many miles since it's only being trucked across the street to the museum. The car had zero QA issues at EOL so it's now just sitting in the plant storage lot awaiting release and subsequent delivery to the NCM.

Well that is pretty cool. Would be awesome if that zero was still there when you take delivery at the museum! Probably will then be 1-2 miles on it. If there are 4-5 then you know someone had a little fun out in the parking lot!

Don't forget the drive into town for donuts as part of the factory's QA program.

It won't be long now. Do you know if the NCM delivery cameras will be back up for your delivery date?

Mine only had 1 mile on it when it arrived at the dealer and it seems most new C6's I have seen roll off the trailer with 1 or 2 miles on them, the dealer seems to put more miles on it for you.

Unknown. I asked Lori at the NCM on Monday the exact same question. She stated when she inquired about the same thing last week they laughed at her.

I sure hope they come back on-line before the 21st. I've actually got some family members who want to watch the delivery, especially my son who's currently in Iraq!
